Horoscope: January 16-22, 2015

What’s in the stars for the week ahead?

ARIES

Mar 20-Apr 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

You have a lot on your plate. There may be so much, it’s hard to keep track. Mercury approaches Venus, and conversations feel great, and negotiations, too. Then midweek, Mercury goes retrograde and starts to back away from the whole deal. If this is something you want, wait it out—it will stabilize. However, if you’re not keen, go ahead and check your options. Choice looks good on you.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 19

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

You’re moving faster—you’re not kidding. You get things done and know it’s second nature. The predominance of planets and luminaries push for you to get out there and mingle. It’s all about being in the public eye, and you may find you belong to everyone this week. Mercury goes retrograde Wednesday, so that accounts for part of it. Part of what? The matchmaking rematch.

GEMINI

May 20-Jun 20

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Now that you’ve looked at your options and schedule, you can choose which direction reflects you best. Waiting for one scenario to take precedence over another can help you make up your mind. Mercury moves retrograde midweek. If you haven’t been able to get a true reading on where your heart lies, give yourself time. All that can be known is about to flare up—in color.

CANCER

Jun 21-Jul 21

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

You have a wonderful balance in Ceres, Pluto, Vesta and the Sun. They’re opposite your sign and can make or break your attitude towards an important relationship. Don’t feel outgunned; wait. Midweek, Mercury moves retrograde and more will be revealed, so that whatever you choose, acting on it later when Mercury moves direct gives you the edge.

LEO

Jul 22-Aug 21

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Taking charge is not the problem. Knowing the “wheres” and “why fors” of a bit of interference is another thing altogether. Trusting individuals is recommended until midweek, when Mercury goes retrograde—then it’s back to trusting yourself. The net is there, you’re safe; however, you wouldn’t want to add a lot of ballast. Having the most fun, you’re the winner.

VIRGO

Aug 22-Sep 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣

The planets fan out in an array of opportunities. Mars jumps up and down, helping you stay focused, especially if you’re looking at relationship details, or want to skip them and go straight to having fun. If you’re considering having the viewpoint of “let it go,” know that you are appreciated. If you’re single, remind yourself no one’s perfect, and get a good night’s sleep.

LIBRA

Sep 22-Oct 22

♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

If you haven’t shaken on the deal, you have until midweek. Then Mercury goes retrograde, and you may want to step quietly sideways. Not that you won’t move forward again, but you deserve excellent terms and recognition, when all the pieces of the puzzle have arrived on the table. So while you’re letting that happen, organize emails, make your sofa comfy and watch love bloom.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

You are exotic: You can take the ordinary and make it mysterious. You know how shadows play into light, how to indulge the senses and let temptation beckon. At the moment, the push is on for finances to become so solid, no one can touch them. The Moon connects with Saturn and Pallas Athene in your house of income this week. Do something original, and don’t give up.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 20

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

Do you ever end up doing what others want because you figure, sooner or later, they’ll become fun to play with? Energies are very much in a whirlwind this week, with Mercury moving retrograde. If your circle includes selfless, compassionate types, you may still choose a little quiet time with your best friend: Yourself—or the one who makes you feel the most comfortable.

CAPRICORN

Dec 21-Jan 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣♣

You work hard—you work too hard. Even if you don’t have a job, you’re still working harder than anyone else. Ceres in your sign will stand up for you, but you have to let her. Don’t take a backseat, but let yourself be cared for. It’s time to let your guard down just enough to get a good night’s sleep: You have every angel standing by. Check that you’re coming first in self-love.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 17

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

Feeling attractive and talking money helps straighten out your week. Mercury and Venus combine exactly in your sign, whirling and blending, before Mercury goes retrograde. It’s a window of opportunity to seal the deal in negotiations, especially if you’re working on a project that involves the betterment for others—this includes every genre. After Wednesday, wait.

PISCES

Feb 18-Mar 19

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

It won’t take a lot to change your mood into a happy one this week. The perks just keep coming, and most are in your favor. If you’re noticing an up-and-down energy, trust that you’ll have what you need when you’re called upon. Mercury is conjunct Venus in your solar twelfth house. Your dreams have the ability to guide you towards money, love and beauty in your life.
